Save those measurements!! It will give you something to compare it to and keep you motivated. I wish I had measurements at my highest weight.

No, I haven't been eating all of them. On the big days, I have trouble doing that. No, I haven't been losing in the last month.

I can't believe people pay to watch her eat and see pics of her. Takes all kinds to make of this world. Just Weird.

HAH. I like this response!! Because after day two of this diet, as stated, I would do just that.

That's great!!!

Sounds too strict!! I'm mostly at home and would find that hard to stick with. I think you are wasting your money on that nutritionist. Try just using MFP and see if you start losing, then tweak from there as you go along to see what works for you.

What she said. I have found something active I REALLY like doing, so I do that for both reasons: health and fun. However, whether I exercise this day or not depends on my mood. I guess I should add, I am VERY motivated to keep a certain level of activity due to fear of making my activity harder. Make sense? If I miss ONE…

You can make a list of your favorite moves from the dvd's you've done and do them with the kids watching their own show. Like: Squats, situps, jumping jacks, lunges to the kitchen and back, more jumping jacks to keep the heart up, pushups, jumping from side to side, etc. Keep it up for 40 minutes and you've done a great…

Does you gym have the circuit weight things. The big machines when you do each one, you've worked every muscle. I had a trial membership once and I hit that first and it was amazing and efficient and you are just doing it on your own after the fitness person sets you up for safety. I didn't feel like I was in anyone's way…

HAH, I love this response. It reminds me of when CNN reported that breast milk caused cancer in mice. I was breastfeeding at the time and my brother in law was concerned that I am giving my kid cancer. Really?!!! Ugh.

I treat diet drinks like a treat that I'm allowed to have more often than sweets, but still not every day. I LOVE peach fresca or berry fresca and I think coke zero and pepsi max tastes best out of all the diet colas. However, I always get in plenty of water and I don't count the soda as water.

I'd go with all of what is said so far and add whole wheat torillas for quesadilla making and if she is willing to stock a crock pot and a foreman grill, yay mom!!

Saw twinkees and said pass, then saw nutella and was a little intrigued. Still not sure about it with twinkees, though.

I was having a hard time thinking of something I don't like. But here it is. I HATE liver. Bleck. I'm sure there is more, but I do like lots of different foods.

Oh my goodness!! I am so envious of all of you who are able to DO zumba. I watched some of it on youtube and KNEW I couldn't hack that!! Even if I were IN the WAY BACK, I would probably knock ALL of you pretty ladies down like bowling pins with my lack of coordination. LOL It sounds like fun for you, though. Such great…

You are very inspiring. Great job!!

And some of that could be water weight. I know when I finally reach my goal, I'm gonna have to keep logging in my calories so that I don't gain it back. Over the holidays, I stopped counting and I gained 5 lbs in about 3 months. My fitness wasn't any different, it was my eating, like xmas cookies, casseroles and such. If…

Okay, done. 180 level 2 squats, no pauses. Thanks. Chelle

That's awesome!!

I've done some of her HIIT. The ones I've done, didn't require anything but a timer. She's pretty good.

I know this is counter to what MFP suggests, but I am going to try exercising more and eat back less cals. I am not seeing that scale move and I really think I should be. I train HARD, I am thinking that because I am a short chic, I don't need as much to eat. If the scale doesn't move, then I will try eating back ALL of my…

I have the same problem but I just haven't got up the nerve to pay bigger money on a scale, so I just go with the cheapy one I have. It does show loss; it's just going to show SIGNIFICANT loss of 2 lbs or so consistently for me to believe it. :) Good luck.

I play both sides of this game.

Can you fit it in first thing in the morning? Get up 30 minutes earlier and just get it out of the way. I would prefer to do mine first thing in the morning. I used to do it that way and it made my day so much happier b/c I felt like, "at least I accomplished THAT" My kung fu class hours are from 12:30 until 7 pm, though.…

Exactly!! My pants used to be loose in the quads and but, now they are tighter there than in the stomach and I don't mind that at all. I'd rather fill in my pants there than with my belly and inner/outer thighs.

Yep, Cherries for me too. It is a love affair I have every summer. Oh and pineapple, they compete for my attention.

I can see the difference, great job.

I've read that BMI is not a good gauge when you have muscle content. You don't look overweight to me, so I'm guessing you have some muscle skewing the numbers.

Oh girl, I know what you mean. My kung fu class has push ups in every warm up. I couldn't do but two at a time with a break in between, GIRL PUSH UPS. My sifu said it's just cause I haven't done enough. Just keep doing them in any increment you can and you will grow to do more and more. I can do 50 girl push ups now. I can…

Eggs are good for you. With that, I will add: in moderation ;) I believe it was during the 80's that the medical community and media said eggs are bad b/c of the cholesterol content, but it has been reversed. There is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Eggs are good, natural. They even check your cholesterol differently…
